Target Tag

Action games, Team building games

Prep: have each person write their name on a piece of paper and fold it in half. Each person pulls out a piece of a paper and spreads out (no peeking at the paper).

Play: When the leader says "go", everyone opens their paper to find out their "target" to try to tag. When a target is tagged, the target joins teams with the tagger(s) and has to place their hands on each others' shoulders and move as a group. The group takes over the target's target. Last one left wins.

we tried this at our youth group, with people not knowing who was chasing them, and it didnt work, in about 3 seconds there was just a line, and it was awkward.. but i think if u line them up and say that they're chasing the person to their right/left. then it might work..

Revised. Played this game a few weeks ago and it was a hit! After you hand everyone the paper with their target on it, tell them not to open it yet. Turn off the lights and give them a minute to hide. Turn the lights on and tell them to open their paper.

When a person gets tagged they hand their target to the person who tagged them, who is their new target. What I like about this game is that no one else knows who is looking for you, or who you are looking for. So everyone is a tagger and a taggee at the same time.

If you have cheaters: turn the names into code, and wait to give them the code until they have hidden. (i.e. A = B, B = C, etc...)
